Happy Diwali! A message from Jyotish and Devi this Diwali, Nov. 11, 2015: Diwali represents the victory of light over darkness – the Light of God, the Divine Light, over the darkness of our own consciousness.
Now is the time to commune with the light inside of us. Give the greatest gift of all, the gift of yourself. Give that gift to the Divine. Have a longer meditation, go deeper, and make the offering to the inner light within. Combine the inner spiritual meaning of Diwali with the outer celebration to uplift your consciousness. —Nayaswami Jyotish
This is a time of opening, when divine rays are coming down to our planet. Holidays like Christmas or Diwali are times when the Divine can pour down its blessings to humanity. As disciples of Yoganandaji, as truthseekers, we need to be forerunners of a new way of living. We need to help people to realize that something else is happening at these times. By having longer meditations, and consciously thinking of Diwali as the return of light into this world, and with our practice of meditation each day, try to bring the light of God once more into our consciousness to reawaken to the light of God, to deepen our awareness and feel the universal presence behind the outward holiday.
Feel that God is trying to awaken his children through these holy days to be receptive to the blessings showered down at particular times to our planet as a whole. Let us use these moments of time where God’s consciousness touches the human consciousness, and let us be receptive, aware that something special is happening. —Nayaswami Devi
We hope that you can be a channel of divine love and blessings to everyone you meet.
Jai Guru
